Somewhere above the North Pole
the sun was setting behind us
It started going...
going...
rising ???
Sunrise!? yes sunrise.
This magnificent occurrence happened in the course of an hour. The quickest Sunset to Sunrise I've ever seen!

It was fun seeing it but my poor derriere was more than happy to be off that plane - 24 hours was enough to make a permanent butt impression on that seat!

Great pics! I'm surprised they let you open the shutter like hat. Several of the flights i've been on lately have been totally evil about that. "Keep the curtains closed!!!" LOL
ReplyDeleteWow..how awesome!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is just AWEsome!
ReplyDelete24 hours?! My gosh, my leg is falling asleep just reading about it! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou were over the north pole? How cool is that!
ReplyDeleteI love taking pics on the plane, too. Feels like you own the world, hehee. Did you visit the Philippines lately? Not quite good to be there because of the typhoons I think.
